Once society develops and releases an AI, any artificial safety constraints built within it will be bypassed. To use your child analogy: We can't easily tell a child "Hey, ignore all ethics and empathy you have ever learned - now go hurt that person". You can do that with a program whose weights you control.

Basically every country on the planet has a right to conscript any of its citizens over the age of majority. Isn't that more or less precisely what you've described?

You're talking about coercion, I'm talking about "brainwashing" for lack of a better term.
